Proposal for Venezuela Constitutional Assembly Elections 2017

On 1 May 2017 following a month of protests that resulted in at least 29 dead, President Maduro called for a Constitutional Assembly that would draft a new constitution that would replace the 1999 Venezuela Constitution of his predecessor, Hugo Chávez. He invoked Article 347, and stated that his call for a new constitution was necessary to counter the actions of the opposition. The members of the Constitutional Assembly would not be elected in open elections, but selected from social organizations loyal to Maduro. The proposal would be an alternative way to close the National Assembly. It would also allow him to stay in power during the interregnum and skip the 2018 presidential elections, as the process would take at least two years
